Patent number: 11576689Abstract: A method of preparing a knee joint for a prosthesis in a patient includes mating a patient-specific three-dimensional curved inner surface of a femoral alignment guide onto a corresponding three-dimensional femoral joint surface of the patient. The patient-specific three-dimensional curved inner surface is preoperatively configured from medical scans of the knee joint of the patient. First and second holes are drilled into an anterior portion of the femoral joint surface through corresponding first and second guiding apertures of the femoral alignment guide.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing, LLCInventors: Robert Metzger, Keith R.

Publication number: 20190083269Abstract: An acetabular prosthesis is described that includes a shell having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface defining an external shape. There is at least one through bore extending from the outer surface of the shell to the inner surface of the shell. At least one augment is configured to be positioned at least partially within the at least one through bore of the shell such that, in an assembled state, the shell and the at least one augment define a modified external shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventors: Kirk J. Bailey, Christopher Peters, Adolph V. Lombardi, JR., Stephanie Klunk, Aaron P. Smith, Keith R. Berend

Patent number: 8398646Abstract: An orthopedic device for preparing a knee joint for a prosthesis in a patient includes a femoral alignment guide. The femoral alignment guide has a patient-specific three-dimensional curved inner surface preoperatively configured from medical image scans of the knee joint of the patient to nestingly conform and mate and match only in one position to a corresponding three-dimensional femoral surface of a joint surface of the patient. The femoral alignment guide has a first guiding aperture corresponding to a distal portion of the femoral surface and a second guiding aperture corresponding to an anterior portion of the femoral surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Biomet Manufacturing Corp.Inventors: Robert Metzger, Keith R.

Patent number: 5330534Abstract: A knee joint prosthesis having independently interchangeable components. The knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component having a first bearing surface defined at least in part by a first radius in the coronal plane. The femoral component further includes a second bearing surface defined at least in part by a second radius in the coronal plane, the second radius being displaced from the first radius. The distance between the center of the first radius to the center of the second radius is substantially constant and does not depend on the size of the femoral component. The knee joint prosthesis further includes a tibial component which is operable to engage the femoral component.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1992Date of Patent: July 19, 1994Assignee: Biomet, Inc.Inventors: Stephen M. Herrington, Adolph V. Lombardi, Jr., Bradley K. Vaughn
